So, Wales

[luckykaa]

Was nice.  Stayed in castle.  Slept well.  Apologies to my roommate for the first night. 

Castle had a wood burning fire.  Also lots of wind.  I'm sure the place could be made carbon neutral with wind power.  Also pondering if it would be possible to have additional water heating from wood fire. 

Went to chocolate farm.  Managed to go swimming once.  Lots of rain.  Windscreen wipers broke:(  Went horse riding.  Played games.  Lost at Power Grid.  Won at Settlers.  Did unusually abysmally at Carcassonne. 

Was lots of happy meat to eat.  Assisted at least once.  Cooking for 9 is not easy, since there's usually something that someone doesn't like.  Roasts work out okay but you can't really do that every day. 

Have decided that making pancakes in the morning at least once is a good thing.  People like pancakes, but don't have them all that often.  They're fairly easy to make as soon as the consistency is right, and they're one of the most fun foods to make. 

Had birthday.  Didn't do that much but did receive presents and chilled out.

Chocolate farm? That sounds intriguing. Do they grow it there or are all the farmyard animals made out of it?

It's called a Chocolate Farm but is pretty much a place that makes nicely moulded chocolate bars and things using chocolate that's physically been made somewhere else (so nothing "grown" on site) - the main selling point is there is a chocolate shop onsite; alsoa fudge shop and a decorate your own icecream shop. Yum :P

Ahh, there goes my mental image of nibbling on a chocolate guinea pig!
Sounds lovely!
